<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wanderer, post: 4367907, member: 16309&quot;]Hi Mark,</p><p><br /></p><p>Your creature is most likely used to be a part of a fireplace accessories called (andirons or morrilos). Andirons were metal stand, typically one of a pair, for supporting wood burning in a fireplace. Metal rings were probably connected by a chain for security and decorative purposes. In one advertisement they are called “fireplace heaters” but the photos of the reverse sides of these pair proved them to be part of andirons. Please check all photos.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please check following links:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/pair-of-fireplace-heaters-winged-lions--23389" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/pair-of-fireplace-heaters-winged-lions--23389" rel="nofollow">https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/pair-of-fireplace-heaters-winged-lions--23389</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pamono.com.au/winged-lions-fireplace-figures-set-of-2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pamono.com.au/winged-lions-fireplace-figures-set-of-2" rel="nofollow">https://www.pamono.com.au/winged-lions-fireplace-figures-set-of-2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Examples of andirons/morrilos:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/118747917_pair-of-gilded-bronze-fireplace-morillos-with" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/118747917_pair-of-gilded-bronze-fireplace-morillos-with" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/118747917_pair-of-gilded-bronze-fireplace-morillos-with</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andiron,_about_1785,_France,_gilt_bronze_-_Cleveland_Museum_of_Art_-_DSC08846.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andiron,_about_1785,_France,_gilt_bronze_-_Cleveland_Museum_of_Art_-_DSC08846.JPG" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andiron,_about_1785,_France,_gilt_bronze_-_Cleveland_Museum_of_Art_-_DSC08846.JPG</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pair_of_andirons_MET_ES3175.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pair_of_andirons_MET_ES3175.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pair_of_andirons_MET_ES3175.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/254783164142" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/254783164142" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/254783164142</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So it must be a missing friend for your creature somewhere <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
